[NOTE: Since the reference month of January 2018, the preliminary monthly results cover the entire collective tourist accommodation sector, which aggregates hotel establishments (hotels, apartment hotels, tourist apartments, tourist villages, “pousadas” and “Quintas da Madeira”), rural tourism and local lodging. Consequently, the data released this month are different from those presented by INE in its press release, which maintains the old model. It should be highlighted, that in the publication edited by DREM, Table I.6 summarises the main information according to the previous model and for that reason, the values presented in this table coincide with those published monthly by INE. It should also be noted that for the variables establishments, capacity, bed occupancy rate, income and RevPAR, the data excludes local lodging establishments with a capacity of less than 10 beds.]

In April 2018

Total and lodging revenue in Madeira's hotel industry increased slightly year-on-year, despite the drop in the number of overnight stays

Initial estimates of tourism accommodation for April 2018 show a decrease in the number of overnight stays (-4.9%), a drop that did not interrupt the increasing trend in total revenue (+0.5%) and lodging revenue (+0.1%).

In the month of reference, the number of overnight stays in the Autonomous Region of Madeira stood at 688.8 thousand. The total revenue and the revenue from accommodation were 37.3 and 24.7 million euros, respectively.

The overnight stays in hotel establishments were responsible for 83.7% of the total, dropping by 6.7% y-o-y, while the overnight stays in rural tourism (accounting for 2.0% of total) increased by 12.6% compared to the same month of the previous year. This rate of change is partly explained by the reclassification of a hotel establishment in rural tourism. Local lodging registered a 5.0% increase in overnight stays, representing 14.3% of the total.

The bed occupancy rate in the reference month reached 64.8%, dropping by 6.6 percentage points over the same month of the previous year.

The average income per room (RevPAR) recorded a year-on-year change rate of -2.6%, decreasing to € 52.14. In hotel establishments, the RevPAR dropped by 1.7% in April 2018, to € 57.05.
